• CVG Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 05 8月 2024 16:40:00   America/New_York

    EPS of $(0.05), Adjusted EPS of $0.06, reflecting additional restructuring activity

    Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 million, free cash flow of $6.4 million

    Strategic actions taken to strengthen Vehicle Solutions Business

    Provides updated guidance for full year 2024

    NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    Second Quarter 2024 Highlights (Compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)

    • Revenues of $229.9 million, down 12.3%, due primarily to a global softening in customer demand.
    • Operating income of $0.8 million, down 95.2%; adjusted operating income of $5.7 million, down 65.9%. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes, partially offset by reduced SG&A.
    • New business wins in the quarter of approximately $32 million when fully ramped, bringing the year-to-date total to $80 million; these wins were concentrated in our Electrical Systems segment, and includes meaningful wins in our Vehicle Solutions segment.
    • Net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share and adjusted net income of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $10.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 million, down 51.9%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.3%, down from 7.9%.

    James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “CVG continues to drive its strategic transformation, despite second quarter results that were challenged due to multiple factors. In particular, we witnessed continued softening in the construction and agricultural end markets and reduced volumes in our new business win launches, impacting our key growth segment in Electrical Systems. We also experienced operational inefficiencies in our Vehicle Solutions segment resulting from a new product launch with a major customer across multiple sites as well as activities to prepare our Cab Structures Business for sale. We made incremental investments in both internal and external support teams deployed to the affected facilities and expect to achieve more stability during the balance of the year. These market dynamics and operational activities weighed on second quarter profitability. While we are disappointed with our second quarter performance, we are taking proactive steps to right-size our cost structure and improve operational execution as we navigate a lower demand environment.”

    Mr. Ray concluded, “Despite these challenges in the second quarter, we continue to position CVG for future success. We maintained our strong track record of procuring new business wins in the quarter and recently announced the sale of our Cab Structures Business, that is expected to close in the second half of 2024, which will serve to further streamline our product portfolio and aligns with our transformation strategy to reduce cyclicality, balance customer concentration, and strengthen our Vehicle Solutions business. We expect the trend of OEM’s insourcing components of their cab manufacturing to continue, so monetizing the facility now will create value for shareholders and will allow us to redeploy capital in key areas to improve our operating model. Strategic actions like this one, combined with our ongoing cost reduction and business optimization efforts, are expected to position CVG to benefit from the anticipated improvement in market conditions.”

    Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are taking swift action to respond to the end market and operational challenges through restructuring and headcount reduction efforts to improve profitability. We’ve incurred $6.8 million in restructuring expenses year-to-date and have reduced our headcount by more than 10%. Additionally, we have made progress on the strategic evaluation of our Industrial Automation segment, which we believe will culminate in the third quarter of this year and is reflected in our guidance. We are adjusting our annual guidance ranges for fiscal year 2024 to reflect current market trends to include the deterioration in global construction and agriculture markets, and we are providing an adjusted version of the updated guidance for the Cab Structures and Industrial Automation businesses. Following closing, we anticipate that the majority of the disposition proceeds will support debt paydown as we further strengthen our balance sheet.”

    Second Quarter 2024 Results

    • Second quarter 2024 revenues were $229.9 million, compared to $262.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 12.3%. The overall decrease in revenues was due to a softening in customer demand impacting all segments and the wind-down of certain programs in our Vehicle Solutions segment.
    • Operating income in the second quarter 2024 was $0.8 million compared to $15.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was attributable to the impact of lower sales volumes, operational inefficiencies and increased restructuring charges. Second quarter 2024 adjusted operating income was $5.7 million, compared to $16.7 million in the prior year period.
    • Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $2.5 million and $2.8 million for the second quarter 2024 and 2023, respectively.

    Second Quarter 2024 Segment Results

    Vehicle Solutions Segment

    • Revenues were $140.9 million compared to $152.7 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 7.7%, due to lower customer demand and the wind-down of certain operations.

    Electrical Systems Segment

    • Revenues were $50.2 million compared to $63.6 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 21.2%, primarily due to a global softening in the Construction & Agriculture end-markets and the phase out of certain lower margin business.

    Aftermarket & Accessories Segment

    • Revenues were $33.9 million compared to $36.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 8.1%, primarily as a result of lower sales volume due to decreased customer demand and the reduction of backlog in the prior period.

The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes, product mix and higher labor and benefit costs.

    Industrial Automation Segment

    • Revenues were $5.0 million compared to $9.0 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 44.6%, as a result of lower sales volume due to decreased customer demand.
    • Operating loss was $1.0 million, compared to $2.1 million in the prior year period.

    Outlook

    CVG issued the following outlook for the full year 2024 which reflects both market developments and pending strategic portfolio actions:

    MetricPrior 2024 OutlookRevised 2024 OutlookAdjusted
    Revised 2024 Outlook (1)
    Net Sales$915 - $1,015$900 - $960$730 - $780
    Adjusted EBITDA$60 - $73$42 - $52$28 - $36

    (1) This Adjusted Revised outlook excludes any contribution from CVG’s Cab Structures or Industrial Automation businesses in 2024. On July 31, 2024, CVG signed an asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Cab Structures business with closing expected in the second half of 2024. Separately, CVG is currently exploring strategic alternatives for the Industrial Automation business.

    This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2024 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 308,000 units. The 2023 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 340,247 units.

    Agriculture and construction market conditions have deteriorated relative to our prior update in March 2024. Based on industry data, we now project segments within global agriculture market demand to be down 15% to 20% and construction market demand to be down 10% to 15% in 2024.

    Use of Non-GAAP Measures

    This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

    Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

    The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
